I have mixed feelings about reparations in general, not just reparations for Afram. But I wish Aframs the best on this issue moving forward.

In my (probably irrelevant) opinion if any reparations programs were to go in, it should be the corporations and institutions who benefitted from slavery who pay it out, similar to companies like Deutsche Bank and IBM paid billions in reparations to Jews for their complicity in the Holocaust. But I don't think they should throw cash at people, because that could do more harm than good, it should be done in investments to education, infrastructure, health, employment opportunities, etc. Canada has paid out reparations to survivors of residential schools and indigenous people who were displaced in the past, and it resulted in folks who experienced real trauma, and never got any treatment for it, having money they could do whatever they wanted with, and it didn't end well, nor did it solve anything. You have to solve the root of the problem.

I have met African-Americans who also advocate reparations for Acadians. I remember the first time I heard it, I spit out my drink lol. I don't want or need reparations (and you don't find many Acadians pushing for them), but I ain't gonna turn them down either lol. If any Acadians deserve reparations, it's the Cajun folks down in Louisiana who got screwed by the oil company BP (and BP should pay it), not the broader population who's ancestors lived through the Great Upheaval.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. - Acadian proverb

I would qualify for reparations because I am African American and have enslaved ancestors......

Like I've said many times before bro you should start in Africa since you guys were already enslaved there by your own people who also sold you to us.

That is why no one can take your arguments seriously because you seriously dumb and by extension your arguments/excuses are dumb. The only good nigger is a dead nigger especially a liberal nigger like yourself :

Whatup nigger ass kissing wetback ? Mexicans are not real Americans that is why there has never been an Mexican American president. All we can hope for is that Donald Trump builds his wall and that there are more mass shootings of Mexicans like yourself :

Holy shit man tell us how you really feel?
